Sometimes, if you ask people to "go downstairs and get me this or that," they'll say, "It's rainin" or "It might rain," or "There's some bumpy roads on the road," or bla-bla-bla. They give you all those excuses, so when they do something which is easy, you're supposed to say, "Damn, you did that?"

I never thought Jazz was meant to be a museum piece like other dead things once considered artistic.

In music, silence is more important than sound.

Joao Gilberto on guitar could read a newspaper and sound good.

When we edit the music, I always remember, "It's my band. Save me a place to play."

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.
